How to check GPA?

Is there a way to check my GPA for my first semester? I thought maybe I could do it through Bear Facts (the way I checked my grades), but I don't see it. I also don't know how to calculate it because Berkeley does the weird + and - thing.

Oh, thanks so much, everyone who answered :)
Yup, I figured my GPA out with a by-hand calculation and then used Berkeley's GPA calculator to make sure.
So, does an A+ count as a 4.3? Because if so, could someone "fix" their GPA by getting A+'s, in hopes that the 4.3's and the previously low GPA would "cancel out" to produce something close to a 4.0? A Berkeley freshman can only dream...
